Are you attempting to see what date the system was installed?

If so, there is no exact fileset that can give you this (because all filesets can be reinstalled or overwritten).

However try the following:
# swlist -l product -a date |more
# swlist -a install_date |more
# swlist -a create_date |more
Looking at these dates of all installed filesets/products will give you an idea of when the system was installed.

Patch bundle version:
# swlist | egrep -i -e "gold|qpk|hwe|xsw|patches"

On your current system?

swlist

To see what is installed (here's mine)

# HPUXBase64 B.11.11 HP-UX 64-bit Base OS

swlist -v HPUXBase64 |grep create_date

create_date Tue Sep 24 09:06:00 MDT 2002

Shaick,
Ignore the Release Names on http://www.hp.com/softwarereleases/releases-media2/history/slide2.html

This table deals with with how 11i is named, not the number or versions available of 11.11. The June, Sept, and December releases of 11i are in the table because that is how they were initially referred to, prior to the release information of 11.20 which is also called 11i. The table was created to explain that if you have "hp-UX 11i September 2001" it is 11.11 or if you have "hp-UX 11i Version 1.6" it is 11.22.

Do you follow that?

The swlist command (swlist | egrep -i -e "gold|qpk|hwe|xsw|patches") will tell you what bundles you have installed. This answers the question "how current is your machine on patch bundles?"
